Hi, attached another photo of it, was a bit blurred still laughing at the time,
Its exact location is east of dursey island co cork, , its N/e of billerough, and N/w of Garnish there are three east facing bays , and its the most southerly one, it can be seen on google earth, but more interestingly it shows the old slip, its obviously been upgraded !!!!
